Do you have another entirely different avenue to explore or guide our learning? If so create your own learning experience here. Be sure to start with an objective and provide enough details and guidance for your peers that may follow you, but still leave it open enough for exploration.

Objective: How to Begin to Move a Resistant Teacher (System) or It Takes 45 Days to Break an Addiction

Questions?
 * Who would be the target group? Elementary? Secondary?
 * How would our role as "specialist" change to role of "coach"?
 * What additional training would we need before taking over as "coach"?
 * How would we begin process?

Ideas discussed: Must address the **teaching vs learning platform** first--this IS the culture Let's create a PK -8 model for all of district Model campus--not just model classrooms Can't just be an add on--too close to the existing structure Committed sardines--that's a building of non-consumers Has to prove success--numbers talk! Everything guided by Lead 2021: Strategies #1, 6, 7 essence is there! One-one initiative does not go about changing to learning platform--research has shown that these have failed Not about the devices--they are obsolete the minute they come out--how do we sustain? Bond $$ '12-13 Infrastructure '13-14 One-One Reallocation of funds--Title One $$--shifting--bring own or provide (just like band instruments) Partnership with community American Airlines, companies that need students who are trained for workforce Shift $$--xerox printers--ink jet printers top 4--drop out decreased by 89%, paperwork reduced, discipline reduced, graduation rates increase Need to implement properly...lots of pieces in place...leadership...shared vision Can't keep using technology for teaching platform...has to be used for learning platform Infrastructure in entire community....many tools available for FREE Teach students HOW to use them--21st Century skills Problem Based Learning model
 * If something is truly valued...is there an opt-out botton? No....pilots must learn new instrumentation
 * This is the only industry that allows you to remain stagnant...not just people within system but people outside of system
 * forces holding us in homeostasis... not in any other industry
 * as a school system..when do we say this is best for ALL kids???
 * Video pod-casting--how to use TAKS manipulatives i.e. paper clips activity stoichiometry Think of all the model lessons we could post!!
 * Digital Interactive Notebooking--hand held scanner---everything is always accessible, all learning styles addressed Don't Abandon Your Notebook...Enhance It! www.notebook.zoho.com
 * Release from coaches doing a model lesson and making them look "bad"
 * It takes 45 days to break an addiction--do we only focus on one teacher at a time?
 * Name grade levels and subjects---weaning off a bottle---coach is only in classroom for certain period of time
 * i.e. 1st two weeks: out of classroom, 2nd two weeks work together writing lessons/implementing co-teach, last two weeks teacher in-charge and coach fades away
 * during 2nd two weeks other teachers watch--middle phase becomes a model classroom (not just for beginners)
 * should we start with people who are ready to move forward and aren't afraid? assist with lessons, here's how you get your grades, etc. build with the experts first...build your TEAM!! yay...go TEAM!
 * should we start with people who are ready to move forward and aren't afraid? assist with lessons, here's how you get your grades, etc. build with the experts first...build your TEAM!! yay...go TEAM!
 * How does this mesh with Strategic Plan?**--magnet school or school of choice
 * Key Findings from Project Red:** 9 Key Implementation Factors

Concept needs to be brought forward to leadership. We could start moving in this direction with existing funds.
